Science Fusion experiment breaks record, blasts out 10 quadrillion watts of power

I find it hard to believe you were a vegetarian before.

Yeah, that puzzles me too.
Did I mention how good your thighs look?

It's time to actually experience warp drive like the crew of the Enterprise.

I like it. But let's get the swarm going now, since we pretty much have the technology and go to the sphere once we get to Type II

Mmmmm I don't know... Michio Kaku predicts (and he wrote a great book on this subject) that it will take us 100 years to even get to Type 1:

That's fine. No reason not to get the swarm going ASAP.

I think we'll build to the swarm. No reason why we can't have solar energy receptors on the moon or in space.

We need to get way more energy from our sun.

Agreed.
Like you say, I think that would be the beginning process of building the swarm. The manufacturing machines on the moon, automating those machines so they can reliably work for years without human interaction, etc. The technology to beam that power back to earth...

Exciting times.

We need to build the Space Elevator first!

Would be awesome if only we had the material to make the tether...

The farther out in time you get the murkier predictions about man made events affecting the future get. I'd say 100 years is virtually impossible to predict.

What about Moore's law? Moore's law without any miraculous breakthroughs tells us a timeline of when our computing power will cease to double every 18 months - 2 years.

Moore's law is empirical evidence and can be disproven at any time.
Moore's Law, by the strictest definition of doubling chip densities every two years, isn't happening anymore.
